Ugly Betty Episode 3.17 Promo
February 27, 2009 by Tom
Here is the promo for the next episode of Ugly Betty, episode 3.17, “Sugar Daddy”.
Thanks once again to B&B.
I love, love, LOVE the theme of this episode. As a Food Channel junkie, I think it’s wonderful that Ignacio is going to be in a “Throwdown” type show. Playing the part of the Bobby Flay type character is Steve Schirripa (The Sopranos), and it looks like he’s going to “kick it up a notch”, as Emeril would say.
Papi having another heart attack would just be wrong, though. I’m going to guess that what we see in the promo from Ignacio is stress-related palpitations. I’ll also guess that one of the younger Suarezes will save the day and finish whatever Papi was cooking.
The family has rented the same house for 25 years? Is this normal for Queens? I ask because I’m just not familiar with real estate in NYC.
Finally, it looks like Meade Enterprises is still around, at least for another week.
I’d like to add one more thing. Please, ABC, when American Idol gets bumped to Thursday because of a Wednesday presidential speech, PLEASE make Ugly Betty a repeat!!! Fans, if you’re curious, you can look at last night’s ratings, but I’ll warn you, it’s not for the squeamish.
I’m sure there are people in Queens, as well as the other boroughs of New York, who have been in the same home for longer than 25 years. If you’ve got a decent rent in New York you do not give it up. I have friends on the Bronx who have rented the same home for more than 15 years, so 25 years isn’t unfathomable.
I’m not surprised that Meade Publications is still around, considering the fact that there really wouldn’t be a show without it.
As for the ratings, I’m sure ABC and all of FOX’s other competitors are not surprised that their shows were smashed by Idol. This is to be expected, so I doubt that the networks are necessarily holding their shows’ poor performance against them. Perhaps they’re looking at it in perspective. It’s doubtful that all of the other networks could just schedule reruns of their shows every time FOX shows an episode of Idol. There’s not much they can do to stop that show, it seems. Although I’ve never been one of its addicts, having only seen a few episodes over the years, I know that there are many people who never miss it. It’s like a force of nature. You just have to wait until it blows over.
Ok here is a comment straight from the crypt of Lester Bangs: American Idol are overrated, bloated buffoons who lack the courage to accept that notion. Instead the cast prey on dweebs whom for lack of a better word think somehow in the holy mecca of the universe they have a shot in hell at making it in hollywood. Not with Simon Cowell as your boss you won’t. To be truly controversial, someone has to stand up and say “hey, the fat emperor has no clothes on.” Nobody does that these days. Who, Perez Hilton? Betty Suarez is more controversial than that guy just because of what she wears normally. That’s what it takes in the real world, my friend. Willingness to be yourself. That is the heart of this program. A heart which I believe by Claire’s act of kindness towards her son hugging Daniel when he learned of his beloved’s illness, found its way home after all the underhanded industry inside shenanigans of the past 2 seasons. Oh sure, everyone says that all is well and there’s nothing to be concerned about. Of course, that only works if your show still has life for another few seasons before 7 and isn’t on the brink of losing everything. Then it becomes a game of oh great, well what competition can I bring down with me? Who would pose a threat to any new programs I might be able to bend the ear of? (Think: The Osbournes’ new fox program) I know *gasp* let’s tear apart Ugly Betty! We’ll have our people on that show or we know from the network suggest writers replace Betty’s pov with that of Marc and Amanda. Then we’ll make Wilhemina seem like she’s nice. How about we write off that Amazon transie? Let’s push the Scottish woman down the stairs. Better yet, let’s bring Gio back for one episode and never hear from him again. Then we’ll mess with Betty by having Henry show up online. All of this is sure to have those uppity latinos turnin’ tail so we can replace them with that there uh Caveman from Geico that showed up on Inside Edition right before that new episode premiered. *Spit chaw in the bucket shaped like state of Utah or Colorado.* C’mon, intimidation much? The reason these jerks think they can get away with it is because Betty doesn’t have a guy like my late father to come up and prank Simon or the Caveman as they’re walking down the street. Those are the things Marc and Amanda could be utilized for right there. Anytime someone pulls something like The Caveman appearing, AI being on Thursday, Marc and Mandy could consider it an act of war by Elle and burn Mode’s enemies worse than La Lohan running off and crying after being de-pants’d. That’d be great, wouldn’t it? Simon Cowell a big fat bitch, the biggest bitch in the whole wide world?
The brain is always thinking, meatheads. B)-~~~
Oooookaaaaay… Seems like somebody’s been drinking things that are stored under the kitchen sink.
Hi,
It sounds like this show will turn like the original version. For a kind of reason Betty will be OWNER of Mode. I will be just for legal comodities. To start growing again with the company and help meade family to save the company.
